Family Boat Day

Sunday we took Olivia out on the boat for the first time and mine as well (so to speak), I haven't been on the boat since before I got pregnant with Olivia. The weather was beautiful and could not have been a more perfect day to be out on the lakes.

We loaded up the boat and got her life vest on, that part was not her favorite. She wouldn't move she just stared off the side of the boat as we headed out of the canal. The poor little thing had to move her whole body in order to see something new because it came up so high she couldn't move her neck. But once we were moving she just kept saying 'Ohh' as she clung to me.

After a quick stop to say hello to the Crofoot's (she missed her boyfriend Coleson, it was nap time) we made it to Bird Island. Ben anchored up, and we got her life vest off, that made her very happy. She was enamored with all the boats, people, but mostly the dog that kept running through the water next to us. She stood on the seat laughing and pointing. She loves all puppies!

We took her onto the sand and put her feet in the water. Once she got over the trepidation of the small waves she sat in the sand to play. We love to watch her as she looks around taking in the sites, wondering what she is thinking. It's so amazing to get to experience all the things we do each day with a new perspective and see them through her eyes. We get to be kids again with her!  

As we sped along the last lake towards home she fell soundly asleep in her life vest!
